    Overview of changes in FEICA SpERCs

    In order to reflect improvement, the factsheets have been revised by the sector organisations, generally by reformatting and adding more detailed background information to enable its transparent application. Furthermore the SpERCs have been simplified. While the previous SpERCs still remain valid, the new revised SpERCs have assigned new version numbers (v2) to discriminate between the different assumptions made in both, the previous and the revised version.

  • Guidance at a glance - ES series (2) - Relevance of SPERCs to FEICA members.pdf

    For members Uploaded 01 Dec 2015

    This second publication in the FEICA 'Guidance at a Glance' series on Exposure Scenarios (ES) addresses the Specific Environmental Release Categories (SPERCs) with an overview of their relevance for FEICA members.

    FEICA, among other sector associations, developed SPERCs on a voluntary basis using a recently standardised best practice format .The FEICA SPERCs describe the environmental emissions from typical uses of adhesive and sealants in industrial, professional and do-it-yourself applications, as well as from its product formulation.  Together with the recent development of the sector-Specific Worker Exposure Descriptions (SWEDs) and sector-Specific Consumer Exposure Determinants (SCEDs), the SPERCs build the basis for registrants to provide safe use scenarios of their chemicals. For FEICA members they can provide evidence and facilitation in safe use communication.

  • Guidance at a glance - ES series (1) - ECHA's CSR/ES roadmap - FEICA's contribution.pdf

    For members Uploaded 01 Dec 2015

    This first document in the 'Guidance at a Glance - Exposure Scenarios (ES) Series' is a general document to explain FEICA’s contribution to ECHA’s Chemical Safety Report/Exposure Scenario (CSR/ES) roadmap, which sets out an action plan to improve the mechanisms needed to get ready for the next REACH registration deadline in 2018.

    FEICA, as an active participant in the programme is committed to deliver its plan actions to achieve the goals of the REACH Regulation for the safe use of chemicals.

    To that aim, FEICA has been an active contributor to the development of aspects of the Roadmap, either alone or through its participation in the Downstream Users of Chemicals Coordination group (DUCC). To ensure the link with the registrants, FEICA also collaborates with CEFIC to bring the views of the downstream users.

    FEICA Factsheet on Exposure Scenarios (ES) for Adhesives and Sealants

    The fundamental aim of the REACH Regulation is to ensure that all uses are safe to both human health and environment. For that purpose, one ‘communication tool’ requested by REACH is the Exposure Scenarios (‘ES’), or set of information that describes how to use a substance safely. An ‘ES’ covers, therefore, either exposure assessments for the different uses (industrial, professional and consumer) or the environment.

    FEICA is currently carrying out three projects to develop the information on operational conditions and risk management measures for typical adhesive and sealants (A&S) applications. The projects address worker, consumer, and environmental safety by the so-called Generic Exposure Scenarios (GES), Specific Consumer Exposure Determinants (SCEDs), and Specific Environmental Release Categories (SPERCs) respectively.

    Update June 2013 -  FEICA Factsheet on the French Nano-Decree

    The French Government published last year regulation concerning the annual mandatory reporting of nanomaterials, which entered into force on 1st January 2013 - based on their placing on the market in 2012. This new regulation aims to improve the knowledge of Nanomaterials and their uses, to ensure traceability of sectors using these substances, to improve the knowledge of the market and the volumes sold, and to obtain available information on toxicological and eco-toxicological characteristics.

    Updated Fact Sheet on BPR - The EU Biocidal Product Directive (BPD) was revised and turned into an EU Regulation. This means that it will be directly applicable as such, in all EU Member States. The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) includes enhanced requirements for labelling, and in particular, for treated articles.

    For members Uploaded 23 Nov 2015

    CLP does contain some prohibitions applicable to adhesives and sealants. There are additional restrictions that may be applicable, set out in REACH Annex XVII, and some substances may be prohibited from use in adhesive and sealant mixtures (unless specifically authorised for that use - which would be unlikely).
